Minnesota Zoo

One of the best parts of getting married is being able to create a wedding experience that highlights your uniqueness as a couple. As you likely understand, the venue you choose for your nuptials can play a role.

You can either choose something that is plain and you dress it up, or you can choose a venue that will play into your theme. Either way, you want your guests to walk away thinking that your wedding represented you both and that they too had the time of their lives. The Minnesota Zoo would undoubtedly be the latter. Who wouldn’t want to get their marital bliss off to a wild start?

Choosing to have your wedding at the Minnesota Zoo is an excellent idea for many reasons. First, you can choose from three ceremony and reception packages. For your ceremony, you can wed in the lush vegetation and orchids among some of the zoo’s cheeky primates on The Tropics Trail. The Lakeside Terrace is the Central Plaza providing seasonal ceremony space to say your “I do’s” under a beautiful willow tree while surrounded by lush greenery overlooking a beautiful lake.

Once you have chosen the ceremony location, you can pair it with one of the three reception venues of your choice. The first option is the zoo’s restaurant, Call Of The Wild. Call Of The Wild overlooks Main Lake with its wall of floor to ceiling windows. This setting is elegant and picturesque. The Discovery Bay, is a unique mix of elegance and intimacy is our most popular spot for wedding days. Discovery Bay is surrounded by three of the zoo’s aquariums. You could view a variety of sea life swimming by as you and your guests eat, drink and be merry.

Lancer Catering is Minnesota Zoo’s exclusive caterer. Lancer Catering can provide you with a variety of catering options, from an appetizer buffet to a sit-down dinner. Lancer Catering can also accommodate your reception’s adult beverage needs. They contract with Buttercream Bakery for your cake or dessert options.

Minnesota Zoo is a total package for planning your perfectly unique wedding. They have the venues, caterers, and ambiance needed for your special day. All you need are the guests.

Weddings are only available after the public Zoo hours so keep that in mind when planning your special day.
